Glow worms, Stars and back to Queenstown...

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is good!
We are finally back in Queenstown! After I e-mailed yesterday we went down the pub, which was very nice and watched some sport (including the Arses vs Villa)! Just chilled out a bit! The weather was stunning it had drastically changed from the day before!
Then we headed back to the hostel and waited for the glow worms to show! On our first walk we couldn't find anything (because it was still too light!), however my head torch (thank you cat!) did come very much in handy (again! lol). Finally we went back to the hostel to talk to the cute hostel guy (in fact, very cute hostel guy - up there with Daniel the Koala Ranger!) and he told us that he had just checked and that they weren't out yet and to wait about an hour!
So we just went and put our washing on and hung around a bit! We then went to see if they were out and it was soooooooo awesome! They're sooooo cool, just little green glowing lights! We both loved it! We agreed that Pixar should make a film about glow worms, although we then argued about the name for the main characters, I went for luminessa whereas Rob wanted Zorb! I mean really Zorb the glow worm???? Plus I'm sure Zorb is buzz lightyears sworn enemy in Toy Story 2!
Anyway after that we went and lay on a bench by the river because the night sky was completely and utterly clear! It was AMAZING! Rob thinks nothing on earth can compare to the stars! Thats big considering we were in Milford Sound (and near cute hostel guy! lol!)
After that we went and finished our washing then headed to bed. This morning we got up bright and early (9am) and packed. We checked out and put our bags in the store room. Then we had Bagels with scrambled eggs on them! They were yummy! We planned for more of the trip and just hung around until 1.30pm when we headed in to the main area (hard to say area when its one pub and a wharf! lol). We had a drink and shared some pasta for lunch then went and found our bus!
The bus ride back was absolutely beautiful! I saw sooooo many sheep! lol! We arrived back in Christchurch at 7.30pm and have just had dinner in an Ale house! I finally had New Zealand lamb! It was soooooooo good! lol!
Right well the internet cafe is closing so I'm going to head off! We're heading off on the epic 10hr trip to Christchurch tomorrow! Leaving at 7.30am Boo hiss boo!!!! ;-(
Hope everyone is good!
Lots of Love,
